I would love to have a beer with Steve someday seems like a truly genuine guy .
So true. I'd love a beer with Steve and you, mate. Cheers from New Zealand 😊
You're welcome to have a beer with me mate!
*I'm 2% less pompous, same engine background, plus I have some great stories when I used to DJ EDM in the Malibu party scene.*
Lol 🤣
I know, I'm not the only father here that orders merch for his son, everytime someone's engine blows up. Hoping, he could get an engine part. My 16 year old gear head, loves S.M. and Cleetus Mcfarland!
Learn to speak English correctly.
Your son deserves better than a brain-dead begging restarts.
Hell yeah brother thats so awesome
Good luck man!
What a great connection to have with your son. Especially at 16yrs old, and in this day and time. They are t h e future of racing, I hope it never dies. Good luck, Dad. What cool thing to want for him.
Steve Morris customer service
100% Boss
He sets the bar pretty damn high.
Yes! Big block supercharged Hydroplane.. these boats are amazing. More of this please!!
it was a hard weekend for this team... They had problem starting the engine and sadly, the boat caught in fire. Not a total loss but it sure ended their weekend.
@@JustaSimpleguy-qg6qf not good news.. would be great to be able to follow the boats progress.. yt page?
Used to run a Mori Seiki CNC machine at BowTech. Think the boss said 2 million dollars for that 5 axis CNC machine back in the 2010 era. Could auto load tombstones from racks and had a huge tool changer. Love this stuff.
I shoot and compete with a 2011 bowtech specialist lol
Money isnt much of the issue when you go that big.
And IDC what anyone says, you got a big GM/Detroit style blower, you just leave that surge alone, personally, that's half the fun, regardless if you're surging through a stop light or into a dock 😅
That’s a beautiful ship.
And a not too shabby power plant either! 😝
That was fun!
Can’t wait to see it in the water screaming its guts out. 👍
Thank you Steve and All 🙏
27 years ago i hung out with a guy who raced hydroplanes. I got to pit for him a few times. Interesting sport. He ran a 468 NA engine in his class. ( 1 class below unlimited). He later drove for someone else in the unlimited class. So dangerous "flying" on water.
I was next-door on break and heard the first few attempts to fire that monster. Insane cannot wait to see what it will do in the water.
Those boats are a different kind of handful 😬💪
The steering response and the g’s they pull has to be insane in these things.
Thats the NASCAR equivalent of boat racing...LEFT turn only
I grew up in Detroit and worked on the Island getting to see the races and got to walk the pits here probably 15 time its amazing how fast they are.
The bigger one are full NASCAR style teams
If you can make a hydroplane engine last, you can make any engine last. Best of luck to Patrick this weekend.
@@erat91 unfortunately it caught fire
@@allangibbons3702 yeah I know. Bummer.
That boat just sounds absolutly beautiful, a corn for the ears...
Acorn? Watch out for cops.
One BAD ASS BOAT !! Thank you for showing it to us!!!!!! Love ya Steve !!!! Pontoons on the wagon!!!
H1 unlimited live streams them
It has been a (quite a) few years since I was around limited hydros (in Buffalo). Dad raced them from the 1930's through the 1950's. When ever there was a race, the whole family was there, Dad, Mpm, and my sisters. Always had a blast! Steve, you will get hooked on hydroplane racing. 🙂 Oh and the tories about Valley Field.....
We are in the Buffalo area also, a great tradition of racing here. They still do "Thunder on the Niagara" every summer.
YEP I GREW UP IN SEATTLE,WATCHED HYDROS ON LAKE WASHINGTON FROM THE NAVY BASE MY DAD WAS STATIONED AT IN THE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. THERE,HE DIRECTED THE OFF LOADING/LOADING THE HYDROS USING THE BASE CRANE..MISS BARDAHL,BILL MUNCIE…THE SOUNDS,20’ ROOSTER TAILS…I WAS ONLY 5 THAN BUT THAT MADE ME THE GEAR HEAD I BECAME… 71 NOW.THANKS DAD,GOD BLESS YOU CHIEF🫡🚤🌊⚡️⚡️⚡️💥
Beautiful boat 💯👌 good work Steve looking after your customers going the extra miles.
I have to say I really enjoyed this. thank you so much for taking us along. I hope they have the best of luck with it hopefully we get to see it in the water one day
That first clip with it running! Damn!
You cracked that throttle and they weren’t ready for it😂
I was just at Lake Guntersville for hydrofest. These and the H1 unlimited are insane to watch. You should see the old ones that run a twin turbo Allison V12. Sounds like WWII.
Your face was priceless every time you said you would drive it! Do your studying because we'd love nothing more than a cockpit video of you... Driving it! Great video Steve and some good solid diagnostics also! 🏁👍👏🇺🇸
You know it's big when it looks like it has its own break room.
Bwaaahahahahahaaaaa!!!
Wow, what a boat. Drive it, Steve.
My new fishing boat!!!
Love it!!
As a gear head, and not a fisherman.
It’s perfect!!!
Badass ride, bet you can't wait to get your hands on it Steve!!
Pretty cool that they allowed us to see the shop and boat !!
Holy cow that's the most massive CNC I've ever seen! Would be drooling over it in person 😂 Hope to see you take this thing for a rip! These boats absolutely rip
I’ve been racing hydroplanes for nearly 30 years. Will be great to see what you do with it.
Boats
You're happy when you buy one. You're even happier when you sell it
Yep. Bust Out Another Thousand.
Boat stands for “Bust Out Another Thousand” although in Hydroplane racing Boat should be spelled with two T’s “BOATT so it can stand for “Bust Out Another Ten Thousand”😂🤣😅😁
@@gullreefclub it's great as long as you hate money and love work
Slippery Rock University. Had my HS football camp there in the mid to late 90’s. 💪🏻💪🏻
Worked on UL=15 Hopp racing in the Late 98 to 2004 and the Ul 15 Hopps old boat With Paul Becker and won Seafair The Pinnacle of Boat racing Love us Boats Somebody needs to Call Gregg He is a top notch driver Hands Down, My two Cents!!!!!
The bearing in the struts are called cutlass bearings, although not sure what they're using for material here.
I raced a smaller class years ago and machined my own strut bearings using Delrin.
That fin is called a “skeg” it keeps the hull planted especially in turns. If you didn’t have it the boat would skate instead of turning. We use them on Radio Controlled boats.
Driving one of these is an experience of a lifetime.
Love the sound of a blower motor with a big old loupe cam!
Did you miss the part where he said that surge is afr hunting up and down?
Ah yes, a good old 🔎cam
that plastic bushing for propellershaft. I wouldnt say its mostly for cooling. Its using water as a bearing between the steel shaft and plastic "bearing". ... like a mechanical seal
"Wader Racket"
We just had a race in my town, unlimited hydroplanes and limited boats(grand Prix and pro lites). Would be cool to see ya race that boat!
Those boats are amazing. They need to keep you updated on how they do. Curious to see there performance compared to the competition
I'm a union millwright out of NW IN . and I have worked on some big machines, but that is Huge!!! Thank you for your videos!
Hi Steve, I grew up in Valleyfield watching the hydroplane races. Very nice to see you involved. I saw the boats in the pits last weekend! Very nice boat!! Unfortunately, the next time I saw it, it was on fire in front of me. Good thing that Pat got out. Saw the damage after in the pits. Do you know what caused the fire? Will you have more videos on that hydroplane? Thanks
Thank you so much showing off the boat the Hemi went in. I was wondering if we would get to see it. I would love to see it in the water making a pass. Thanks again Steve.
This ain’t it. This boat has a SML
BOAT= " Bust out another thousand". lol
😂I believe you’re Neaking Fruts Steve! I’m gonna watch you when you do get around to doing it- I’ll be pins & needles thru the whole vid😂
You the Man!
Was just in Madison Indiana for the hydroplane races. Good timing. What a wild motorsport.
Cool project, looking forward to seeing it run !!!
Your excitement made your episode!!
To see your knowledge brought me back in time to my grandpa. With a burp/kick of a motor. Diagnoses was done.
Your awesome & thank you for your episode/time.
👍👍
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 one slick boat.. love it. Expanding your engine base for sure.
That boat is frickin sick !!
you got to do a race in that i love watching those its really cool the unlimiteds are insane with helicopter motors
Very beautiful boat. Thank you Steve Sir for bringing us along and thank you to them for letting you. Cant beat a SME built Engine. It sounds so beautiful
I always liked the blower surge just demonstrates wickedness
Boat racing is something else man, these big boys scare the shit out of me but the APBA title series classes are a riot. Same hydroplanes & runabouts but much smaller engines. Methanol 2 strokes that still run 100+ on the water. Nationals in Illinois at the end of the month, worth checking out.
My wife is a nurse in Grove city. She is a RN and travels down there
Congrats to the winners of the Cleat stuff ! Could have saved you some shipping $ Steve and just had a Michigan guy pick up one of those boxes from say 2 hours away 😊 Thanks for taking us along this was cool as usual ! Have a great day all !
These boats are nutsssss. Super stoked you're getting involved with em.
Need to get you into a offshore version of that 40 plus feet 120 to 160 mph
Must be so cool to meet all these cool people tru ur work.
I program, set up, and run some 7 and 9 axis machines along with your regular 3, 4, and 5 axis. But it's amazing at what you can do with a 7 and 9 axis mill. I do a lot of aerospace and military / government work like submarine missile housings, rockets of all types, and LOTS of stuff that goes to Area 51.
now the beginning of this video of that machine shop was EXCELLENT!!!!
Men seeing you driving an hydroplane would be so great!!!
Hey Steve the lady told you it was sharp. So immediately rub your fingers on it 😅😅😅😅
Blood lubricant.
That was pretty interesting. I enjoyed the rich/lean explanation about the blower hunting.
Small world my friend. I grew up and work in Grove City!
That STAR 5 axis a very nice piece of Lights Out manufacturing. With a pallet changer and a tool magazine like that you could run the thing over the week end without any human interaction. It could Run 24/7 with it fully loaded without it ever stopping the process. They must have had a nice job for it to get something like that just in the corner or it's a backup for another.
Also that limited Hydroplane wow. they are a something that isnt a sport for those who are afraid to commit lots of time and resources. Bloody hard work for those engines as well, intermittent WOT loads, long duration races and water everywhere just to test things out.
This looks like my Budweiser RC hydroplane on a larger scale!
I've got a dumas 1/8 scale miss miller. KB .67
I was apprehensive when I saw a boat video, but I learned something about those also. Hopefully we get to see Steve chicken foot a boat next lol.
Stay outta the boat Steve. Water at the speed that thing goes is just as hard as the concrete walls you've hit in the past. As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
I would check ur starter shims and flywheel teeth! That hard stop could have been the starter binding and not retracting! Had a big block in a drag car that did that off and on usually on first or second cold start! Ended up cooking the starter and flywheel!
Wild ride that would be.
So for anyone interested....This boat is considered to be a 3-point hydro (hydroplane). When the boat is at race pace it will only be touching the water at three points. The rear of the two sponsons (just in front of the skid fin) and the prop are the only things that are touching the water. The rear of the boat should be "floating" at race pace. The wing (canard) adjusts the attitude of the boat. It will crate lift in the straights so the boat is loose on the water and downforce in the turns. A driver can let her dance on the straights by running loose, but it can turn into a yard sale. Watch some videos of these in action....it is a hoot.
That is one wild boat. The surge may be wrong but I just love that sound. Many thanks for this .
PLEASE follow up with testing in water. Something new on your channel. Love it.
Raced dragbikes, the purist form I know, and will say that boat is total horsepower porn. 160 mph bike no problem but those boats are another level of racing on the edge.
Too cool, shame about valleyfield, but yall will get it dialed!
Really clean and mean boat! She's going to be sweet🎉 looking forward to seeing how it runs against the other boats in it's class and it's progression
I think Steve wants to drive it 😂. Awesome video as always!!
Just saw it in valleyfield pit. Engine sounds insane!
My wife used to be a quality tech there. Steve welcome to the right coast of Michigan. Not that shady west side😂
Steve you'd need a bigger shop for that machine .
Steve you should visit Bark River Knives and do a video on them! One of my favorite brands of knives and incredible performance!
I'd like to see you opening that up out on Mona Lake! 😂
I used to help a friend with an old 5L Hydro, open cockpit. We added the "OH SHIT" pedal/canard and it was a game changer. That was a cool old wood hull hydro.
Run a blue output to the coil relays. Not the yellow. And set it as a rpm based output. 50 rpm. It wont light the plug when the ign is switched on.
That thing looks like a ship from Star wars.
I hope we get to see more vids of your motor in that boat. Wicked stuff!!
Awesome as Always Wow what a CNC Machine Great content ....
We used to have Englishtown Raceway in Englishtown New Jersey😢 now it's for an auto insurance company the store cars, they used to have dirt track racing boat racing
Pat Wiessman builds the gearboxes or drive train right? I think he built a counter rotating surface drive system but never put in to production! I wanted one sooooo bad! “Skid Fin” throws an INSANE rooster tail on the port side sponson!
That thing has 1/2 million worth of tools in the tool changer!!
Ya probably more tooling gets very expensive
Slippery Rock! i work there all the time!
What a fabulous sounding engine! Much better than drag cars, why?
When Steve said 'secret squirrel ' I had to crack up laughing ! Funny one Steve 😅 Cheers from New Zealand 😊
Fantastic video Steve you guys are awesome great content ! I wondered if you can work that lean rich surge out so that doesn't hurt that motor once your loaded up in the water. So your saying that settles out some and is not as noticeable and once you hit full throttle that it everything is cool.
I used to see the hydroplane boats when I was driving I-10 between Phoenix and LA delivering groceries and always wondered how they got them off the trailer.
Usually picked up by a crane and set into the water😊
I wish they would modernize the engine rules for that class a bit. It is getting to a point where 2, maybe 3 boats finish a heat that starts with 6. Tons of blown up power plants even among the top teams.
Like just WOW!!! Thanks for showing that education experience...😮😊
I live near Lake Guntersville and follow hydroplane racing. They definitely need more boats in the top classes.
I love to see the tools required to do the job!
I used to work for a guy in St.Louis Mo that drag raced Hydro boats and they were insane in the late 90’s I can just imagine how they are now
Steve I live in Madison Indiana. Which is home to the Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Governors Cup. Which is the biggest event in the series. There are two smaller series that one I think you could run.... I'm a fellow Sooner born to Hoosier parents and would be thrilled to see race up here! EDIT: Thought you had bought the bought Steve.
